I am going through this imagenet example.
And, in line 88, the module DistributedDataParallel is used. When I searched for the same in the docs, I haven't found anything. However, I found the documentation for DataParallel.
So, would like to know what is the difference between the DataParallel and DistributedDataParallel modules.
$\endgroup$
 - $\begingroup$ well, by docs I think they are totally same. Aren't they? $\endgroup$ – Frank Jan 10 at 5:47

As the Distributed GPUs functionality is only a couple of days old [in the v2.0 release version of Pytorch], there is still no documentation regarding that. So, I had to go through the source code's docstrings for figuring out the difference. So, the docstring of the DistributedDataParallel module is as follows:
Implements distributed data parallelism at the module level. This container parallelizes the application of the given module by splitting the input across the specified devices by chunking in the batch dimension. The module is replicated on each machine and each device, and each such replica handles a portion of the input. During the backwards pass, gradients from each node are averaged. The batch size should be larger than the number of GPUs used locally. It should also be an integer multiple of the number of GPUs so that each chunk is the same size (so that each GPU processes the same number of samples).
And the docstring for the dataparallel is as follows:
Implements data parallelism at the module level. This container parallelizes the application of the given module by splitting the input across the specified devices by chunking in the batch dimension. In the forward pass, the module is replicated on each device, and each replica handles a portion of the input. During the backwards pass, gradients from each replica are summed into the original module. The batch size should be larger than the number of GPUs used. It should also be an integer multiple of the number of GPUs so that each chunk is the same size (so that each GPU processes the same number of samples).
This reply in the Pytorch forums was also helpful in understanding the difference between the both,

Fish eggs can survive being eaten by ducks and some will still hatch again after being passed in droppings, study finds
- Researchers fed carp eggs to ducks in a laboratory and found 0.2% survived
- Of the eggs that passed through in tact, several actually went on to hatch
- The finding could explain how fish colonize isolated bodies of water
Fish eggs may be much more resilient than previously thought as new research shows they can survive being eaten and can actually hatch after being defecated back out into the wild.
A team of researchers from the Danube Research Institute made the discovery by testing what would happen when carp eggs were force fed to ducks in a laboratory.
The team fed 8,000 eggs from two different invasive species of carp to a group of eight mallard ducks, and then examined the duck feces to see what would happen to the eggs after being eaten.
Researchers force fed 8,000 carp eggs to eight mallard ducks in a laboratory and found that 0.2% of the eggs survived and were still viable and in tact after being defecated out, and several actually hatched two to three days later
While most of the eggs were destroyed while passing through the ducks' digestive system, 18 eggs, or around 0.2% of the total, made it through in tact, according to a report in Science News.
Of the 18 eggs that remained viable after being defecated back out again, three went on to hatch between two and three days later.
The team created a separate set of 200 fertilized eggs as a control to compare the hatching rates, but the control group developed a widespread fungal infection that killed most.
The ducks' digestive system is relatively fast moving, with most eggs passing completely through within an hour of being eaten, while a small number took four hours to fully pass.
'Despite the relatively short retention times of fish eggs within the digestive tract of mallards, these birds are still likely to play a significant role in long-distance dispersal of carp,' the team report.
The surprising discovery could help explain how fish end up colonizing small ponds and isolated lakes unconnected to other bodies of water
Adult carp lay an average of 100,000 eggs a day in the wild, and a mallard duck can fly over 800 miles in a single day
While the survival rate of the eggs was comparatively small, the team points out that a mature adult carp in the wild can lay as many as 100,000 eggs, meaning a significant percentage of fertilized embryo could survive being eaten.
According to the team, the findings could help explain the mystery of how fish have 'somehow colonized isolated water bodies all over the world without human assistance.'
In the past, scientists theorized that fish eggs might have been attached to the feathers or feet of certain species of waterbird, but the team's research introduces another potential explanation.
A mallard duck can fly as far as 80 miles in a single day, and could travel dozens of miles or more in single hour it might take an egg to pass through its digestive tract.
According to the researchers is to see whether the survival rates they recorded in a labortatory setting hold true for eggs in the wild

How to delete a module from Vtiger CRM (5.0.4. to 6.x)
~ 0 min
12-05-2015 04:54
Here I am showing an example of how to delete a module named as testModule from Vtiger 5.0.4.
Simply deleting the files from modules folder associated with a particular module won't delete it completely. But deleting the files is also required. The best way to realize that is, try to reinstall the module, you will get the message that the module exists. In order to delete a module follow the steps given below.
Create a file named delete_testModule.php and put it in the root directory of Vtiger CRM.
Paste the following code into that file delete_testModule.php:
 $Vtiger_Utils_Log = true;
 $module = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('testModule');
Execute the file delete_testModule.php. Once it is done delete the files associated with the testModule from modules folder in the root directory.

Alix Gerber is the Louis D. Beaumont Visiting Assistant Professor in the Sam Fox School. After working as a user-centered researcher and studying transdisciplinary design at Parsons in New York City, Gerber has been experimenting with a practice of Participatory Speculation through the development of a course called Radical Design, as well as the Futures of Public Safety project. Participatory Speculation is a critical and collaborative design practice based in a strong belief in the value of every person's experiences and perspectives. Rather than solving problems—as we often expect from design strategy—it strives to question the systems and ideologies around us by imagining many different futures, each based in a different world view. Projects involve creating artifacts from these potential futures that provoke in-depth dialogue about what we want here and now.
Work by students in Gerber's Radical Design course, as well as the exhibit Futures of Public Safety, featuring work inspired by the future visions of St. Louis residents, will be on view November 13-15 in Steinberg Hall Gallery.

text: One of the most important factors potentially affecting the walking motion is the lower limb muscle mass. It is possible the mass of the lower limb muscles is correlated with walking motion. We investigated the relationships between walking motion by 3D motion analysis and the mass of the thigh muscle with ultrasound imaging. Our data demonstrated significant correlations between the mass of the thigh muscles and some of the joint kinematics measured at the hip, knee and ankle. These results suggest the knee extensor muscles mass regulates knee joint in association with the lower extremity movements at the onset of walking in free speed.


function::fullpath_struct_file - Linux
Overview
The function::fullpath_struct_file command is a utility that is used to find the full path of the data structure file that is associated with a given function. This is useful for debugging purposes, as it can help to identify the location of the data structures that are being used by the function.
Syntax
function::fullpath_struct_file <function_name> [--language <language>]
Options/Flags
The following options are available:
 - --language <language>: Specifies the language of the function. This is optional, and if it is not specified, the default language is assumed to be C.
Examples
The following example shows how to use the function::fullpath_struct_file command to find the full path of the data structure file for the get_student_info function:
function::fullpath_struct_file get_student_info
This will output the following:
/home/user/project/src/get_student_info.h
Common Issues
One common issue that users may encounter is that the function::fullpath_struct_file command may not be able to find the data structure file for a given function. This can happen if the function is not defined in the current directory, or if the data structure file is not in the same directory as the function.
To resolve this issue, you can try specifying the full path to the function, or you can try searching for the data structure file in a different directory.

Every day, we see Victorian clients facing crippling uncertainty about their fines that are a direct consequence of their homelessness. Although the new fines system has some positive reforms for people experiencing homelessness, many are not working in practice. The need for further reforms to Victoria's fines system was recognised by the Fines Reform Advisory Board's recommendations in December 2020 and the Victorian government's response.
The first opportunity is to introduce a reformulated special circumstances 'nexus test', which will make the fines review process fairer and more accessible. The second opportunity relates to making Fines Victoria's fines-enforcement review decisions final and binding. If both of these recommendations are implemented, they would reduce the adverse impact of fines on Victorians experiencing homelessness, as well as improve efficiencies and decrease the backlog of matters for Fines Victoria and the Magistrates' Court.
As Victorians continue to feel the social and economic impacts of COVID-19, improving the fines system is essential for our community's recovery process.

A_SmokeTrailer is an action that is used to spawn a trail of Objects of a type determined by Var1 when called repeatedly. In Doom Legacy, this action was originally used to spawn smoke trails for rockets and Lost Souls; the action itself is based on the action A_Tracer from Doom, used for the Revenant's homing missiles, which spawned a smoke trail and followed the tracer. A_SmokeTrailer in comparison reuses only the smoke-spawning code from A_Tracer, hence the name of the action. In SRB2, this is used to spawn smoke trails behind the Snailer's missile and the Sea Egg's torpedo.
The position the Objects are spawned at relative to the actor depends on the speed and direction of the actor's current movement, set up so it will trail behind opposite to the actor's movement direction, and the Objects will only be spawned every 4 tics. The spawned Objects will then rise slowly in the air at a speed of 1 fracunit/tic, and their initial state's duration is randomly reduced by 0-2 tics.

BARD (thief subclass)
Bards are an interesting group. They are, essentially, a melding of
fighters, thieves, and song masters. While adept at the skills of
both combat and larceny, a bard's primary power is derived from
offensive and defensive "songs." The bard undergoes rigorous training
to learn how to use words, melody and counterpoint to effect changes
in their environment. Bards can use their songs to hurt, to charm, and
to inspire as well as to understand the nature of objects around them.
As a hybrid of classes, a bard has the gift of both fighter and thief
abilities, but does not possess the full range, nor the full strength
of the abilities of a true member of either class.
Bards are charismatic and joyous adventurers. They are known
throughout the lands for regaling the folk with tales of their
journeys. As such, many shopkeepers reward bards by paying a higher
than usual price for a bard's goods. Shopkeepers may do this to
assist the bard in further adventuring and in hopes of the bard
returning with more glorious tales.
A bard only performs one song at a time, but is capable of improvising
with refrains that adjust the mood and keep the audience on their
Bards can not wear gloves, shield or plate helmet.
Bards have the following skills:
sleight staff toughness awareness
resistance disarm bow dagger
sword axe singing combat
spear mace flail
Bards have the following songs; the (*) indicates a refrain:
charm fear vengeance rejuvenation
lore * dirge * quell * inspire

text: A fingernail imaging has been shown to be effective in estimating the finger pad forces along all three directions simultaneously in previous works. However, this method has never been used for the purpose of force measurement during a grasping task with multiple fingers. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the grasp force-sensing capabilities of the fingernail imaging method integrated with a visual servoing robotic system. In this study, the fingernail imaging method has been used in both constrained and unconstrained multi-digit grasping studies. Visual servoing has been employed to solve the issue of keeping fingernail images in the field of view of the camera during grasping motions. Two grasping experiments have been designed and conducted to show the performance and accuracy of the fingernail imaging method to be used in grasping studies. The maximum value of root-mean-square (RMS) errors for estimated normal and shear forces during constrained grasping has been found to be 0.58 N (5.7%) and 0.49 N (9.2%), respectively. Moreover, a visual servoing system implemented on a 6-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) robot has been devised to ensure that all of the fingers remain in the camera frame at all times. Comparing unconstrained and constrained forces has shown that force collaboration among fingers could change based on the grasping condition.

Why is it called Throwing?
Origin of "To throw": Old Engilish – twist, to turn, to propel. Some potters describe their work at the potters wheel as turning. The Old English word thrawan from which to throw comes, means to twist or turn. Going back even farther, the Indo-European root *termeans to rub, rub by twisting, twist, turn. The German word drehen, a direct relative of to throw, means turn and is used in German for throwing. Because the activity of forming pots on the wheel has not changed since Old English times, the word throw has retained its original meaning in the language of pottery but has developed a completely different meaning in everyday usage. Those who say they throw pots are using the historically correct term. Those who say they turn pots are using more current language. Both are saying the same thing

Conduction Error: What is conduction error?
Conduction error is a fault in a temperature sensor reading when heat is conducted along the temperature sensor body. The most common reason for conduction error is inadequate immersion into the application.
There are a number of ways to mitigate conduction error which are discussed here: Conduction Error in Temperature Sensors

Does it snow anywhere in Thailand?
The truth is, the closest most Thais will get to snow is when they visit the Bangkok amusement park Dream World. But, Thailand's climate is varied and during the winter there is frost on the mountain tops in Northern Thailand. There has even been hailstorms that leave the ground white like snow.
Does it snow in Chiang Rai?
As per Thailand's national weather archives, snowfall was recorded in Chiang Rai in 1955.
Does Thailand ever get cold?
What's The Coldest It Gets In Thailand? The average air temperature in Thailand in winter is 27 °C (80.6 °F), but occasionally it might drop below freezing. Those occasions are more likely to happen in Northern-Thailand where the temperature might drop enough to form frost.
Does Chiang Mai have snow?
When can you find snow in Chiang Mai? Weather stations report no annual snow.
Whats the coldest its been in Thailand?
The coldest temperature ever recorded in Bangkok was 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), and that was back in 1955. 1 Cool season temperatures are generally around 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius), so it's no surprise that it's such a favorite time to visit.
Does it ever snow in India?
In states like Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, snowfall can be witnessed in the winter season in India.
What is the lowest place in Thailand?
Geography of Thailand
|Satellite view of Thailand|
|Highest point||Doi Inthanon 2,565 m (8,415 ft)|
|Lowest point||Gulf of Thailand 0 m (0 ft)|
|Longest river||Chi River 1,047 km (651 mi)|
How is winter in Thailand?
Winter. While hardly comparable to the icy, snowy winters in many countries, this is the season when Thailand "cools off." From November to February, daily humidity drops to 50% – 60%, and temperatures stay at a relatively comfortable 30 – 35 °C. The winter months are Thailand's most pleasant season.

Electrostatic All-Silicon MEMS Speakers for In-Ear Audio Applications - Acoustic Measurements and Modelling Approach
This paper presents the acoustic properties of an electroacoustic MEMS transducer. The transducer is based on electrostatic bending actuators with lateral deflection. A large number of actuators is arranged in pairs and move in opposite phase between a cover and a handle wafer. By means of an appropriate sound guidance, areas of opposite phase pressure changes are separated and audible sound is emitted. In this paper, the results of acoustic measurements with a standard ear simulator are discussed. A linear lumped parameter model is presented and the results of the simulations are compared with the measurements.

permissibility of stunning chicken
permissibility of stunning chicken
Aslamu Alikum i would like to find out the ruling or views on stunning of chicken before slaughtering. In my country it's certified as halaal and accepted by some of the scholars and dislike by other scholars Jazakallah await your response
In order for meat to be lawful for consumption it must be slaughtered in a particular way. One of the conditions for permissibility is that the animal must be alive at the time of slaughter. If it dies before slaughter then it will be unlawful for consumption. The issue of stunning chickens is a heavily debated topic. The main contention is whether or not the chicken dies between stunning and slaughter. Each halal certifying body has their own criteria. Some will permit stunning provided certain conditions are met such as the voltage being kept at a low rate to ensure the chicken doesn't die, whilst other certifying bodies will not permit stunning of any sort. Either way the fundamental point is whether or not the chicken dies before slaughter.
In addition to this, stunning is understood to cause the animal additional unnecessary pain and can also reduce the amount of blood flowing out of the animal. For these two reasons some scholars will deem stunned chicken as disliked even if it did not die before slaughter. This maybe the reason why some scholars in your country consider stunned chicken disliked.
As we are not fully aware of the industry practice in Guyana or the criteria adopted by the halal certifying bodies, it is difficult for us to indicate our preference. However, when it comes to eating Halal one should always exercise reasonable caution and abstain from doubtful food.

Student Career Advocates
What is a Student Career Advocate?
Student Career Advocates (SCAs) wear many hats. They are, first and foremost, students. But they are also advisors, interview coaches, researchers and resource developers. They are mentors, presenters, program organizers and instructors. They are student leaders. In a nutshell, Student Career Advocates are the initial liaisons between students and the Career Services professional staff, and often the first point of contact when interacting with Career Services. But they are so much more than just that. We set our expectations high for our Student Career Advocates... and they exceed them every day.
So, what do SCAs do?
Why should I apply to be a SCA?
There are many reasons to be a Student Career Advocate; these are just a few:

Dogs kill swans more often than swans kill dogs, experts say
Interfering with swans during nesting season is a criminal offence
Swans are fiercely protective parents and they see a dog as a predator
Every year there are several reports of swans being killed by dogs - but it is virtually unheard of for a swan to kill a dog, according to Birdwatch Ireland.
In the aftermath of an incident in Bushy Park on Saturday, in which a dog was killed by a swan, experts have moved to reassure the public that not only are such attacks highly improbable, they only happen when there is a perceived threat to young cygnets.
In the incident at the weekend, a cocker spaniel was swimming in the duck pond in Bushy Park, Terenure near a group of swans and cygnets when an adult swan broke away and attacked the dog, killing it.
"[Swans] are fiercely protective parents and they see a dog as a predator," explained Niall Hatch of Birdwatch Ireland.
"It's important that swans are given peace and quiet around the nesting season (which occurs during the summer months)."
In Ireland the most common swan type is the Mute swan, which are largely well accustomed to humans, whom they associate with food. By comparison the migrant Whooper and Bewick's swans are unlikely to interact.
Male Mutes grow up to 20 kilograms in size, about as large as possible for a flying bird, and they can strike out with their wings. Before doing so, however, they will hiss a warning to steer clear, generally in defence of their cygnets or nests.
Mr Hatch said his organisation receives about four to five reports every summer of swans being killed by dogs but he has never heard of it happening the other way round.
Measured response
Not only are swans a protected species, but it is a criminal offence under the Wildlife Act to interfere with them during the nesting season.
Eric Dempsey, bird expert and author, said a measured response is required to Saturday's attack - both to alert the public to the fact young cygnets are in the water, and to ward off any extreme reaction.
Although swan attacks, similar to those of seagulls, make headlines when they occur, they are considered extremely rare and are an aspect of natural protective behaviour.
"A swan would see a dog as a perceived threat, as a predator. Any animal will protect their babies," said Mr Dempsey. Dogs, experts say, should be kept out of the water during the summer months if swans are in the area.
Mr Dempsey stressed the birds are defensive, not aggressive, and will readily lead their young to humans in order to receive food. Any approach to their nest, however, can provoke a response.
A blow from a swan's wing is similar to getting slapped, said Mr Dempsey, who has himself been on the receiving end while working with the birds.
"There is a myth that swans will break your arm - I have never met or heard of a person who had their arm broken by a swan."
Attacks are rare, at least in terms of public reporting, but when cases do emerge they capture the public interest and are widely reported.
In 2001, 71-year-old Mary Ryan from Dublin lost her compensation claim against the State when she was beaten to the ground and battered by a swan in the Phoenix Park. She broke her wrist in the incident.
Ms Ryan said that having fed the swan, she heard a fluttering of wings behind her. "When I turned around I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He was coming for me. He knocked me to the ground," she said. "He continued to aggressively beat my legs and tried to peck me in the head."
In a case in the US in 2012, Anthony Hensley (37) drowned in Chicago after being knocked from his kayak by a swan, which then stopped him swimming ashore.
"It [WAS] presumably a male swan and it's presumably paired, and it's set up home for the spring," Chris Perrins, a retired Oxford ornithologist, told the BBC at the time. "It's going to defend that territory."
In 2014 there were reports of a swan, subsequently named Asbo, attacking boats and flying directly at humans on the River Cam in Cambridge.
However, despite the potential for such behaviour, Dr Michael Brooke of the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge said the birds pose "no danger at all" to adult humans.
"I suppose it could be an issue for elderly people or a two-year old, but if you see your child in danger you can just pick them up and walk away," he said.
"People think of them as intimidating because they have a wide wingspan, but then some people are intimidated by spiders in the bath."

A chemist for a pharmaceutical company wants to determine the median reaction time for a newly developed antacid.
- Open the sample data, AntacidReactionTime.MTW.
- Open the bootstrapping for 1-sample function dialog box.
- In Sample, enter Time.
- On the Options tab, enter 1 in Base for random number generator.
Using Base for random number generator ensures that your results match the example.
- Click OK.
Interpret the results
The 95% CI indicates that the chemist can be 95% confident that the value of the median reaction time for the population is between approximately 8.8 minutes and 14.8 minutes. However, the histogram shows that the bars are very sparse, making it hard to see the sampling distribution. Because the sampling distribution isn't clear, the confidence interval may be unreliable. The original sample has only 16 data points. To get a reliable confidence interval, the chemist should collect a larger sample and perform the analysis again.

A stardate was a unit of time measurement expressed as a decimal number. It was sometimes used in conjunction with the Gregorian calendar on Earth, however by the 25th century it was the more widely used system by organizations such as Starfleet.[1]
It was widely recognized by several major governments of the Alpha Quadrant and Beta Quadrants, and it was the official dating system used by the United Federation of Planets.[citation needed]
Starfleet captain's logs were typically introduced by stating the stardate at the time of the recording.[2][3]

World Giving Index
The World Giving Index is a Charities Aid Foundation report into charitable giving worldwide. The index uses data from Gallup and looked at three different areas of charity. Gallup asked people which of the following three charitable acts they have undertaken in the past month:
- donated money to an organisation?
- volunteered time to an organisation?
- helped a stranger, or someone they didn't know who needed help?
In 2011 New Zealand and Australia came at the top with 57% score followed by Ireland and Canada second equal and the United States and Switzerland third. It should be noted that the index reports on individual charitable giving and not as a nation so government pledges of aid are not included in the index.

How Many Languages Can Prince William Speak?
Learning a foreign language is part of the royal family's protocol. However, some of the queen's family members are more fluent than others. Not to mention: A few of them know up to five languages. How many languages can Prince William speak? Find out, plus the one language he must know before becoming the British heir, ahead.
How many languages can Prince William speak?
Prince William
Prince William | PAUL ELLIS/AFP/Getty Images
The future king is quite the linguist. Apparently, Prince William can speak five languages, including English. Take a closer look at his linguistic proficiency, below.
French is one language many members of the royal family, including Prince William, have mastered. According to reports, the future heir to the British throne can speak French with ease.
Africa holds a lot of memories for Prince William. So, it comes of no surprise that the Duke of Cambridge can speak a little Swahili. The language can be heard throughout several African countries, including Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania.
As the future Prince of Wales, Prince William must learn enough Welsh to converse with those fluent in the language. It's unclear how fluent he is in Welsh, but the Duke of Cambridge can speak the language.
In preparation for becoming Prince of Wales, Prince Charles also learned Welsh as a young boy. While he's not fluent, he allegedly knows enough to get by.
In addition to Welsh, Prince William also knows a little Gaelic. His Royal Highness likely speaks the language — or phrases — while visiting parts of Northern Ireland and Scotland. Prince Charles can also speak Gaelic.
What languages do other members of the royal family speak?
Prince William isn't the only one with impressive linguistic skills. In addition to the Duke of Cambridge, several members of the royal family can speak foreign languages and are even fluent in some. Here are all the languages spoken by the British royal family.
Prince William knows French, but he's not the only one. His great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth is fluent in the language and learned as a young girl (her tutor and governess, Marion Crawford likely taught her). Like his wife, Prince Philip can also speak French — and so can their children. Prince Charles, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, and Princess Anne all speak French.
Apparently, Meghan Markle also knows a little French, but her fluency is unclear.
German isn't the most popular foreign language in the royal family, but Prince Philip is fluent in it. According to reports, the Duke of Edinburgh grew up speaking the language, as it was one of the languages spoken by his family members.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte are currently learning the second most spoken language in the world, Spanish in school. In addition, their Spanish-speaking nanny, Maria Turrion Borrallo helps tutor them.
One member of the royal family knows a little Tagalog, aka the language of the Philippines. While visiting Edinburgh with Prince Harry, Meghan Markle was overheard saying "Salamat Po," which means "thank you" in the foreign language. It's likely that the Duchess of Sussex might only know a few words and phrases in Tagalog.
Some royals even speak Russian. Prince Michael of Kent and his wife, Princess Michael both know the foreign language.

Colloidal Silver
Last Updated: August 13, 2018
Definition - What does Colloidal Silver mean?
Colloidal silver is made up of a mixture of distilled water and pure (0.9999) silver. It is created by flowing an electrical current through water mixed with silver electrodes. The current causes the microscopic particles of the silver to break away from each other. Once they break off, they become suspended in the water mixture.
Many cannabis growers use colloidal silver on a marijuana plant to force the plant to produce feminized seeds. After applying the colloidal silver to the cannabis plant, the pollen collected will contain no Y chromosomes. The pollen will only have double X chromosomes, which help ensure female seed production.
MaximumYield explains Colloidal Silver
Colloidal silver is misted onto a marijuana plant's foliage to force the plant to start pollen production. The grower usually mists the plants daily with colloidal silver for 10-14 days.
Typically, when growing marijuana plants there is a 50 per cent chance of the plant creating male seeds. However, with the use of colloidal silver, the chance of a plant developing all female seeds becomes almost a guarantee. Even if a male plant does develop after using colloidal silver, the male is still a genetic female but with male characteristics.
Silver colloidal acts as an ethylene inhibitor/antagonist on the marijuana plant. The silver colloidal forces the weed plant to develop male pollen sacs instead of the female buds that it would normally grow. The pollen from the male pollen sacs can then be collected and used to pollinate female flowers to develop feminized seeds.

One of Toronto's little historical secrets is the mystery of why Bay St does such a large jog at Queen St. History buffs may know the answer, but I only recently came upon it myself, and it answered many questions I'd long had about the strange disconnect in (of all places) Yorkville between Yonge St and the centre of what we now think of as Yorkville, the area west of Bay St.
The jog on Bay St creates one of Toronto's most spectacular urban design moments, but it was far from deliberately planned that way – the placement of the tower of Old City Hall simply took advantage of a precondition in which Bay St ended at Queen St. What is today Bay St north of Queen St was originally a separate street running between Queen St and College St called Terauley St. Terauley St and the grid north of Queen St were originally laid out as part of a separate estate that did not line up with the grid south of Queen (even University Ave did not originally extend south of Queen St, whereas Yonge St was the exception as it was the original concession road).
North of College St there was a one block break, and then a series of streets with slightly different alignments (called St Vincent St, Chapel St and North St) continued the rough line of Terauley St north to Bloor St. North of Bloor St, no streets crossed through Yorkville along the Terauley St alignment. In the early 1920′s, the City decided to cut the Terauley alignment all the way through from Queen St to Davenport Rd and rename it as an extension of Bay St. The late date of Bay St's creation north of Queen partly explains the lack of significant historical buildings along the street.
The effect in Yorkville has been more profound, as Bay St essentially split the old village in two. Originally, the centre of Yorkville was clearly along Yonge St (very few commercial buildings even existed at the time along Bloor St). Both the library and the fire hall were located close to Yonge St on Yorkville Ave. Since the 1920′s and the cutting through of Bay St, the fortunes of Yorkville west and east of Bay seem to have gone in different directions. While Yonge St has lost most of its connection to Yorkville and sense of it's former individuality, Yorkville west of Bay was destined to become a centre for artists and alternative culture and finally a very unique boutique shopping district, maintaining a significant amount of its character and village feeling.

Bet without Looking: Studying Eyes-Free Interaction During Live SportsAbstract:
This paper presents a comparison study of three different interaction methods for an eyes-free interaction with a second screen application while watching a TV broadcast. These interaction methods were used in WeBet, a touch-based mobile game that prompts users to bet if a goal is about to happen during a football match. WeBet is one of the prototypes we have been developing to increase the remote users' emotional levels during live sports broadcasts, so that they feel like if they were scoring a goal with their team. However, that can only be achieved if the second screen application does not require the users' attention when a goal (key moment) is just about to happen, otherwise they would be frustrated to miss that exciting moment. To this end, we conducted user tests that allowed us to determine the usage patterns and users' preferences regarding three different interaction methods, as well as to identify important refinements to be considered in future developments.


Subject: Re: Inherited shared slots
From: Erik Naggum <>
Date: 1998/04/13
Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp
Message-ID: <>
* Erann Gat
| Here's a puzzle for you CLOS and MOP wizards.
 I'll try to answer, anyway.
| Is there a way to have a slot variable that is inherited as a class
| allocated variable in the sub-class?
 sorry to be so elaborate, but do you mean as in this example:
(defclass foo ()
 ((zot :allocation :class)))
(defclass bar (foo)
(eq (setf (slot-value (make-instance 'bar) 'zot) (cons nil nil))
 (slot-value (make-instance 'bar) 'zot))
 should yield T?
 if so, you're in luck, because this is already the specified behavior of
 shared slots, _unless_ you create a new slot with the same name. here's
 what the HyperSpec says on this issue (7.5.3):
 A consequence of the allocation rule is that a shared slot can be
 shadowed. For example, if a class C1 defines a slot named S whose
 value for the :allocation slot option is :class, that slot is
 accessible in instances of C1 and all of its subclasses. However, if
 C2 is a subclass of C1 and also defines a slot named S, C1's slot is
 not shared by instances of C2 and its subclasses. When a class C1
 defines a shared slot, any subclass C2 of C1 will share this single
 slot unless the defclass form for C2 specifies a slot of the same name
 or there is a superclass of C2 that precedes C1 in the class precedence
 list of C2 that defines a slot of the same name.
 hope this helps.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract Knowledge of the solid angle (and consequently, the geometrical efficiency) is essential in all absolute measurements of the strengths of radioactive materials and to calibrate detectors. The method of high-efficiency gamma counting by means of well-type HPGe and NaI (Tl) detectors is widely used and has proved a powerful tool, particularly when low-activity, small-volume environmental samples are to be analyzed by gamma-ray spectrometry. In the present work, we introduce a direct analytical method for calculating the solid angle subtended by a well-type detector at axial point, non-axial point, extended circular disk and cylindrical sources. The validity of the derived analytical expressions was successfully confirmed by the comparisons with some published data (experimental and Monte Carlo).

How to Do Tombstone Rubbings
by Richard Lupu
with notes by Joel GAzis-SAx
I am really just an amateur, but I have found that rubbings are a beautiful form of art. It is a fairly easy and inexpensive hobby that is a wonderful way to learn about history. There are some basic rules you should follow and some tools you need to get started.
If you plan on doing rubbings of your family or relatives then some of these wont apply. I like to rub very old tombstones. They have a certain charm about them.
 1. Many cemeteries are private property. Be sure and ask before you start rubbing tombstones. Trespassing fines are not cheap. Many do not understand what rubbing is or have ever heard of it.
 2. Treat each tombstone as if it were your own mother's. Somebody loves these people and old tombstones can be delicate.
 3. Make sure and clean off all marks accidently left on tombstones. Leave the cemetery cleaner than when you got there.
 4. If it is a private cemetery or a municipal cemetery, don't rub at night. Your actions will most certainly be mistaken by local law officials. You would think this would not have to be mentioned but a friend of mine wanted to get some rubbings done when he got off of work one night. Bail is not cheap either.
 1. A soft brush. The kind you might use to polish your shoes work well. A tooth brush is also a good thing to bring.
 2. Paper, White or rice paper works best. I like rice paper. It has a really nice feel to it and can be surprisingly strong.¹
 3. Black or gray chalk. I like chalk, it can be messy but if you're careful it makes a very nice texture. Flat black crayons and rubbing wax are the most common, but I still like chalk.²
 4. Scissors or exacto knife.
 5. Masking tape or painters tape
 6. Small spray bottle and a soft absorbent rag.
 7. If you use chalk you will need Chalk spray. Krylon makes the best.³
Once you have found a nice tombstone you need to make sure it is clean. Use the soft brush and remove dirt and debris from the surface. Be gentle, and respectful, if the it looks as if you might scratch the tombstone then move on.
After you get most of the dirt off spray it with the bottle and then wipe with the rag. Let the tombstone become perfectly dry before you go on. Cut the paper larger than the tombstone itself and wrap tightly aroundthe stone. Tape it very securely so that it doesn't move, if the paper moves when you start rubbing you will probably have to start over.
Start rubbing on the outside edges and make yourself a frame of sorts. You don't need to rub real hard, you can always make it darker by going back over it but you can never make it lighter. You should start to see the patterns emerging at this point.
Once you have the darkness down to you liking carefully spray the paper down with the Chalk spray. Be careful not to get any on the tombstone. When it is dry you can remove it and trim it in the shape of the stone or leave a border around it. This is all there is to it. Practice with it and develop your own style.
I live in Texas and have found a couple of old cemeteries that are all but abandoned. The dates on a lot of these date back to the late 1800's. If you also live in Texas, E-mail me ( and I will give you directions.
Remember the respect you show now will ensure that tombstone rubbing will always be looked at as a way to preserve history and not as vandalism.
Caretaker's Notes
¹Rice paper was recommended by nearly all the Caretaker's advisors on this page. Butcher paper was mentioned as a cheaper substitute. I had a bad experience with a grainy drawing paper. Smooth surfaces work much better than grainy ones, though you may decide otherwise.
²In my experience, chalk was a bit messy. Other contributors suggested using charcoal. You can also use ink if you follow the method used in China for making stone rubbings.
³There's an alternative to Krylon and that is hairspray -- "the cheapest you can find" as one advisor put it.

The Caretaker also wishes to thank Lydia Thompson, Carolanne Szoke, and other contributors to alt.society.funerary for their tips.

FARMINGTON – The Western Foothills of Maine may not be the most ideal climate to grow ginger, but Rustic Roots Farm has been doing it for the last two years and was recently awarded an $8,000 grant to study its growth.
Rustic Roots Farm owner's Erica Emery and Dave Allen have been awarded the grant from Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education and were one of 29 recipients this year. The program is designed for farmers to try different techniques and produce results that can be used as a reference for other farmers. Rustic Roots will be looking at different spacing techniques to maximize ginger yields.
"What we're going to be looking at is how seed spacing affects the ginger yields… We've tried a few different ways of spacing it out, but the literature currently is just all over the place as far as how far apart pieces of ginger should be planted," said Allen. "We want to find out what is the best way to maximize our yield."
Ginger prefers a tropical understory climate and a long growing season, both of which are unavailable in Maine.
"We're trying to grow a plant that needs a seven to eight month growing season in a climate that regularly only has three or four months," said Allen.
The process of growing a plant from a different climate involves tricking it into believing that the climate is different than it actually is, Allen said.
"We take the seed, which is basically mature ginger, ours is grown in Hawaii…we let it cure and then we plant it in trays with coconut coir and we put it into a custom built incubator," said Allen. "Which makes the ginger think it's underground for like two months. All through April and May it will be in there and then early June we'll take it out and that's when we'll plant it. Then it will stay in the ground until October, ideally."
Emery and Allen will weigh the ginger before and after planting to measure its expansion. They will then compile the data to share with Northeast SARE which will in turn be shared with other farmers as a resource.
The grant money will go towards the cost of the 25 pounds of ginger seedlings that will be dedicated to the project as well as the cost of installing an irrigation system to mimic a tropical understory climate.
Rustic Roots Farm Farm Shares are now open for sign ups. Shareholders receive twenty weeks of locally grown produce, including fresh ginger during harvest season.

This paper investigates the noise reduction in the slot-induced ground bounce noise by using differential signaling. An efficient 2-D finite-difference time-domain method together with equivalent circuits for both the differential line and the slot is established and simulations are performed for a three-layer structure to characterize the ground bounce coupling. A simple model is then proposed to understand how the differential coupled microstrip lines can help reduce ground bounce. Different factors which affect noise reduction are investigated, such as the coupling coefficient, rising time, skew of differential signaling, and structure asymmetry in slotline. An experimental setup is devised to demonstrate the noise coupling between signal lines due to the slot-induced ground bounce and significant noise reduction by employing differential signaling. A favorable comparison between the simulation and measured results validates the proposed equivalent circuit model and analysis approach.

Camtasia vs. Filmora (2021)
Camtasia vs Filmora
Camtasia vs. Filmora
In a world where digital products are becoming increasingly important, you need tools that will enable you to get the best outcomes. For example, recording and editing videos carry a great deal of significance in the current digital age, where content is a massively valuable product. But, the big question to content creators is whether they know the right tools to use.
Well, Camtasia and Filmora are common tools of the trade in the content creation space. It's for this reason that the Camtasia vs. Filmora debate happens to be a significant one. In this article, we compare Camtasia and Filmora to see which one you would consider.
Both video editing software tools have features that define their individual functionalities. The features in each of them operate differently and produce unique results depending on their levels of advancement.

How to Export Contact as vCard using PHP
by Vincy. Last modified on July 3rd, 2023.
VCard or VCF is a virtual contact file containing contact information in a standard format. It is used to attach and transfer contact data via email or any other form of electronic data transfer. The vCard stores contact data like name, email, address, company, and more details. This tutorial will show how to export contact data to a vCard using PHP.
Previously, we have seen PHP contact form example to get the contact details from the user. In this example, the user contact and company details are stored in a database table.
View Demo
Data for contact is retrieved using PHP from the database and listed in a tabular format. In this list, each item will have the option to export data to a vCard format. Once exported, the vCard will be downloaded to the browser.
php-vcard-export-output
Previously, we have seen several examples to export database results to various format like CSV, and Excel. I have used Jeroen Desloovere's vCard PHP library for exporting contact data to vCard. Download this library from Github and put it in your local environment to run this example.
Contact Data Table with vCard Export Option
This landing page displays the contact details from the database in a tabular form. In this PHP example, I have used MySQL prepared statement for performing database operations.
Initially, the query is executed to get all the contact details into a PHP array. This array of contacts is iterated and displayed in a tabular view with the vCard export option. By clicking this vCard Export control, the PHP export action will be called. Then the contact data will be exported to a VCF file and downloaded to the browser.
<?php
require_once "DBController.php";
$dbController = new DBController();
if(!empty($_GET["action"])) {
 $query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_contact WHERE id = ?";
 $param_type = "i";
 $param_value_array = array($_GET["id"]);
 $contactResult = $dbController->runQuery($query,$param_type,$param_value_array);

 require_once "VcardExport.php";
 $vcardExport = new VcardExport();
 $vcardExport->contactVcardExportService($contactResult);
 exit;
}
$query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_contact";
$result = $dbController->runBaseQuery($query);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>How to Implement OTP SMS Mobile Verification in PHP with TextLocal</title>
<link href="style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

<?php
if(!empty($result))
{
?>

Name

Email

Phone

Address

Export

<?php
 foreach($result as $k=>$v)
 {
?>

<?php echo $result[$k]["first_name"]; ?> <?php echo $result[$k]["last_name"]; ?>

<?php echo $result[$k]["email"]; ?>

<?php echo $result[$k]["phone"]; ?>

<?php echo $result[$k]["address"]; ?>

<a href="index.php?action=export&id=<?php echo $result[$k]["id"]; ?>" title="Export to vCard">

<?php
 }
?>

<?php
}
?>

PHP vCard Library Class Instantiation and Contact Data Export
In this PHP class, the required vCard library class is instantiated. Regarding this instance, the contact data is added to an object array. This contact data object will be passed while exporting data to the VCF file.
This vCard PHP library requires the Behat-Transliterator library for transliterating the name. So, download Behat-Transliterator library and use it as a dependency to run this example.
<?php
use JeroenDesloovere\VCard\VCard;
class VcardExport
{
 public function contactVcardExportService($contactResult)
 {
 require_once 'vendor/Behat-Transliterator/Transliterator.php';
 require_once 'vendor/jeroendesloovere-vcard/VCard.php';
 // define vcard
 $vcardObj = new VCard();
 // add personal data
 $vcardObj->addName($contactResult[0]["first_name"] . " " . $contactResult[0]["last_name"]);
 $vcardObj->addBirthday($contactResult[0]["date_of_birth"]);
 $vcardObj->addEmail($contactResult[0]["email"]);
 $vcardObj->addPhoneNumber($contactResult[0]["phone"]);
 $vcardObj->addAddress($contactResult[0]["address"]);

 return $vcardObj->download();
 }
}
?>
Database Controller
This PHP class was created as a database controller to handle connections and fetch data with PreparedStatement. The runBaseQuery() function receives and executes the query without parameters. The runQuery() function gets the query, param type, and values as its argument to bind with the query statement. This function is used to fetch contact data by id for exporting it to a VCF file.
<?php
class DBController {
 private $host = "localhost";
 private $user = "root";
 private $password = "test";
 private $database = "blog_samples";
 private $conn;

 function __construct() {
 $this->conn = $this->connectDB();
 }

 function connectDB() {
 $conn = mysqli_connect($this->host,$this->user,$this->password,$this->database);
 return $conn;
 }

 function runBaseQuery($query) {
 $result = $this->conn->query($query);
 if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
 while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
 $resultset[] = $row;
 }
 }
 return $resultset;
 }

 function runQuery($query, $param_type, $param_value_array) {
 $sql = $this->conn->prepare($query);
 $this->bindQueryParams($sql, $param_type, $param_value_array);
 $sql->execute();
 $result = $sql->get_result();

 if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
 while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
 $resultset[] = $row;
 }
 }

 if(!empty($resultset)) {
 return $resultset;
 }
 }

 function bindQueryParams($sql, $param_type, $param_value_array) {
 $param_value_reference[] = & $param_type;
 for($i=0; $i<count($param_value_array); $i++) {
 $param_value_reference[] = & $param_value_array[$i];
 }
 call_user_func_array(array(
 $sql,
 'bind_param'
 ), $param_value_reference);
 }
}

text: A real-time nonlinear model predictive controller is presented for point-absorbing wave energy converter (PA-WEC) to maintain the optimal wave energy extraction by tracking the reference PA-WEC velocity. In order to reduce computational cost, the predictive controller is designed using wave condition preview and the Taylor series expansion based nonlinear optimization to determine the q-axis current control signals while the constraints on both the device velocity and q-axis current are respected. The dynamics of the PA-WEC is modeled and details of the nonlinear model predictive controller are presented. A pragmatic method is proposed to obtain the optimal reference PA-WEC velocity by observing the time instants when the excitation force passes a threshold. A long short-term memory recurrent neural network (LSTM-RNN) identifier is designed to identify the wave condition term for implementing the controller. The overall stability of the closed control system including the predictive control and the LSTM-RNN identifier is proved. The proposed nonlinear predictive controller is validated under realistic wave conditions. The results indicate that the proposed control allows higher PA-WEC power production than the conventional control under representative irregular wave conditions.

text: We introduce wavelet packet correlation filter classifiers. Correlation filters are traditionally designed in the image domain by minimizing some criterion function of the image training set. Instead we perform classification in wavelet spaces that have training set representations which provide better solutions to the optimization problem in the filter design. We propose a pruning algorithm to find these wavelet spaces using a correlation energy cost function, and we describe a match score fusion algorithm for applying the filters trained across the packet tree. The proposed classification algorithm is suitable for any object recognition task. We present results by implementing a biometric recognition system using the NIST 24 fingerprint database, and show that applying correlation filters in the wavelet domain results in considerable improvement of the standard correlation filter algorithm.

Trivial Tuesday: Turtle That Pees Through His Mouth
The Chinese soft-shelled turtle is not the handsomest creature on the planet, to be sure, but it has its own claim to fame by being able to kind of pee out of its mouth. Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle (Public Domain Image)Chinese Soft-Shelled Turtle (Public Domain Image)
Scientists noticed that when the turtle had emerged onto dry land it would plunge its head back into the nearest puddle. They found that the turtles will then expand and contract its mouth to expel waste -- something like a rinse and spit for reptiles.
The turtle's digestion gets going it breaks down protein in the liver and it ends up as urea -- just as it does with humans. To expel the urea from the body, humans process it through the kidneys which turn it into urine. The turtles send it the other direction.
The reptile ships the urea north to gill-like studs in its mouth. It is then able to breathe and excrete urea at the same time. This adaptation, which makes us a little woozy to think about, is 15 to 50 times faster than the kidney route. Their kidneys only expel about 6% of the urea that builds up in the digestion process.
Researchers believe that this phenomenon is due to the salt water environment the turtles inhabit. The only other animals that demonstrate such an ability are fish, who are able to exrete urea via their gills.

text: © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.Purpose: This study aims to investigate the evolution of factors that influence the current and future use of video streaming applications by Millennial consumers. Design/methodology/approach: Combining technology acceptance, perceived values and user identity theory this study used factor analysis and multiple regression to examine data from a survey of 292 university undergraduates. Findings: Millennial's current and future use of video streaming services remains driven more by social and emotional values and their effect on identity salience with their choice of content. Ease of use, convenience and monetary value remains less of an influence currently but may become more important in the future with the continued maturity of the industry. Practical implications: The results of this study suggest that video streaming service providers should be developing business models that recognize the increasing importance of emotional appeal and self-identity of their service offerings as the industry matures and competition increases. Originality/value: The research is novel in addressing future video streaming service provision by examining changes in young consumer behaviour over time within a similar sample population and considering the growth and technological advancement of video streaming services. The results are significant in addressing the gap that exists in understanding whether perceived values for technology adoption of the same product or service by millennials change over time and the implications that have for product and service providers.

Trees in seasonal climates may use water originating from both winter and summer precipitation. However, the seasonal origins of water used by trees have not been systematically studied. We used stable isotopes of water to compare the seasonal origins of water found in three common tree species across 24 Swiss forest sites sampled in two different years. Water from winter precipitation was observed in trees at most sites, even at the peak of summer, although the relative representation of seasonal sources differed by species. However, the representation of winter precipitation in trees decreased with site mean annual precipitation in both years; additionally, it was generally lower in the cooler and wetter year. Together, these relationships show that precipitation amount influenced the seasonal origin of water taken up by trees across both time and space. These results suggest higher turnover of the plant-available soil-water pool in wetter sites and wetter years.
